Magic Fingers on a Morning Walk

Awareness of the outside world. Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.

{Backstory. Each morning, people & horses go on a unmounted team walk in the pasture.}

Milton asked me to get ticks out of his mane. [Magic Fingers & Bug Season Has Begun]

At one of the turnarounds during the walk, Milton sidled up next to me. I gave him a scratch. He backed up until the base of his mane was lined up with my fingers. I scratched. There was a bump that could have been a bug or a bug bite. Also, the weird grottiness associated with ticks.

We looked closer.

Turns out there were two. A regular sized one and a small one, which is either a youngster or a different species. I don’t know. I remove ticks. I have no desire to study them.

I find it fascinating when they make their requests so clearly.

Onwards!
Katherine
